Kenya National Union of Nurses (Knun) Secretary General Seth Panyako has threatened to name the people behind the infamous Sh5.3 billion Afya House scandal.
Yesterday, the United States government withdrew funding to the Ministry of Health, citing corruption and lack of accountability.
The US through aid agency USAID cut off Sh2.1 billion support.
Panyako asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to streamline the health Ministry following the move by the US government.
The Knun boss said there must be radical surgery at the Ministry to ensure the Cabinet secretary and Principal Secretary fully in charge of affairs at Afya house.
"Besides, we would like the head of state to fully devolve health function and call upon the US and other development partners to be channeling funds directly to beneficiaries or through county government to enhance accountability and transparency," he said on Wednesday in Kakamega.
Panyako is eyeing Kakamega’s senate seat.
